Abstract
Description
Development in Africa has been a consistent dialogue since the
continent got independence. After the disengagement of the colonialists from
the former colonies, development agenda has been set for Africa by both the
ex-colonialists and the indigenous political leaders who inherited the colonial
state. Amilcar Cabral is one of the theorists who engaged in a critical
interrogation of the state of development in Africa. This paper focuses on
exhuming two of the factors Cabral considered as impasses to Africa’s
development. This paper also engages literature on Cabral and the speeches
of Cabral where he bore his mind on development imperatives in the
liberated zones which are replicas of the contemporary states in Africa.
In other words, this paper dwells on secondary data analyzed through textual
analysis.
We finally arrive at the two monsters that have been standing as
impediments to development in Africa.
